I regretted that omission as well. The following code creates a small
palette which will display the co-ordinates for. It will also show the
date if you are hovering over a DateListPlot.
CreatePalette[
Dynamic[Replace[
MousePosition[
"Graphics"], {a_,
b_} :> {DateString[
a, {"DayShort", "-", "MonthNameShort", "-", "Year"}], a, b}]],
WindowTitle -> "Graph Coordinates"]
